Oliver needs to go for the ball & not be watching his opponent. If he gets it then he should try kicking it. No airy fairy handballs please.

OK Petty back Tommy forward. Tom's a good baackman but Petty's a terrible forward.

Take it back!

Bowey should be dropped.

Got no power in the shoulder 

 

IM O. Oliver firstly needs to enjoy his football.  If he does then the opposition best player will be tagging him. If he gets plenty of touches.  That’s just a bonus,  it’s not about this game. It’s about the rest of this year and next !

Fritsch has Donuts thus far, perhaps try him on the wing for a bit.


Getting smashed in the stoppages but been a while since we have kicked five in a first ( or other for that matter) so happy with the effort.

he has forgotten how to play football

To be fair has a hard tag by Philips, but Viney, Sparrow, Tholstrup and Rivers stepping up, Oliver might need to play decoy and wear it tonight.

Has this ever happened? Very strange indeed and can't say I like it.

Check out Caiden Cleary for the Swans tonight. Debutant as sub. I reckon Sydney are a reasonable yardstick as a club making good decisions. Correct call by our club.

I am watching on my phone so it’s a bit hard to but I think we have been ok so far. JV attacking the ball much more like normal.

Sparrow has been destroyed in the air and at stoppage multiple times. He needs to be a bull.

Turner, Petty, Kossie and Chandler all kick goals and some folk are asking about Fritsch’s where abouts. 😂

Agree he is one of our better skilled players! 

Good to hear the commentators calling out the ridiculous over-estimation of 50 metres.


Anyone else sick of seeing lazy handballs that constantly turn it over.

We our now masters of it 

Since we've come down a few pegs as a team, the few shining lights have shined all the brighter. Petracca before his injury for sure, but for me Max Gawn is far and away our best player at the moment.

He does have donuts or maybe an Audi or Olympics.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
